Fig 1 Plots of distributed lag estimates of age-stratified percent changes and 95% CIs in asthma emergency hospitalizations with an IQR increase in air pollutant along the lag 0-20 days, derived from the single- and 2-pollutant regression models of 2005-2014 data in Hong Kong. IQR, Interquartile range.

Fig E2 Plots of distributed lag estimates of age- and season-stratified percent changes and 95% CIs in asthma emergency hospitalizations with an IQR increase in ozone along the lag 0-20 days, based on 2005-2014 data in Hong Kong. The general patterns are similar between seasons. IQR, Interquartile range.

Fig E3 Plots of distributed lag estimates of age- and sex-stratified percent changes and 95% CIs in asthma emergency hospitalizations with an IQR increase in ozone along the lag 0-20 days, based on 2005-2014 data in Hong Kong. The associations did not vary by sex. IQR, Interquartile range.

Fig E4 Plots of distributed lag estimates of age-stratified percent changes and 95% CIs in asthma emergency hospitalizations with an IQR increase in air pollutant levels along the lag 0-20 days, derived from the single- and 2-pollutant regression models of 2005-2014 data in Hong Kong. The results with young children 6 years and younger are similar to those with children younger than 18 years. IQR, Interquartile range.
